NYPD Arrests suspect in fatal robbery for $1

Transcript

On Christmas Eve a 60-year-old Bronx man named Juan Fresnada was beaten to death and robbed of $1 by attackers.

On Tuesday the NYPD arrested 18-year-old Abu Conteh and was charged him with murder and gang assault.

Fresnada was with a 29-year-old acquaintance when investigators report several men confronted them.

Police say surveillance video shows the assault.

In the video one of the attackers throws a victim to the ground and proceeds to attack.

In another frame, one victim, whose face is blurred, is being punched.

And a third frame shows an attacker approaching with what appears to be a garbage can in his hand.

We want to warn you that some may find this surveillance disturbing.

Police say the man robbed them but only ended up with a dollar.

The 29-year-old acquaintance refused medical treatment.

Fresnada suffered bleeding in the brain.

He died Friday.
